Gil Vicente
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-0
AVS
Gil Vicente will look to make amends for a 3-0 loss to Porto when they take on AVS on Matchday 2. Os Galos are determined to record their first win of the season and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the newcomers. Angola international Sandro Cruz serves a one-game ban, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team. Carlos Cunha should stick to the 4-3-3 formation.
AVS, on the other hand, played out a 1-1 draw with Nacional in the opening match of the season. Vitor Campelos’ men are not regarded as good travellers and given their lack of experience in elite division games, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the home side. AVS defender Kiki is widely expected to return to the starting XI following his brilliant performance in the season opener.
